Author Anselm Anyoha struggled with finding time to exercise because, like so many others, he worked long hours.

When the weight started to add up and his overall health declined, however, he realized something needed to change. His doctor wanted him to take pills, but that was just going to cover up a problem--not fix it.

While he had previously enjoyed fast food, refined cereal, soda, and other goodies, he cut those out of his diet and retooled his lifestyle. Now, he takes responsibility for what he eats. In this handbook for healthy living, he shares how to

- equip yourself with credible information about food;- discover truths about your own body that can help you lose weight;- appreciate the dynamics between weight maintenance and physical fitness; and- understand the relationship between obesity and diseases such as hypertension.

By researching nutrition, resisting the food industry's ploys to win his taste buds, and relying on willpower, Anyoha lost thirty pounds--and he's kept it off for more than two years. You can match and beat his results by taking control of your health.
